Hawker 900XP Price Guide

What Impacts a Hawker 900XP Price?

If you are considering buying a Hawker 900XP jet, the condition and value of one aircraft within the ‘for sale’ fleet can be very different from another apparently similar jet. That can be because of a variety of factors.

The correct market value of individual Hawker 900XP jets is ultimately determined by the buyer and seller. The factors that influence that value might include an aircraft’s model year (aircraft depreciate with age); how it has been equipped compared to others within its fleet; the nature of any modifications or upgrades (and what they add to the aircraft’s performance); and the overall maintenance condition.

In relation to maintenance condition, buyers are advised to look below the surface of wear and tear on the interior and paintwork, and instead search for less easily identified problems like corrosion.

The proximity of expensive/time consuming scheduled overhauls or inspections to the engines or airframe are another important consideration, as is whether the aircraft is enrolled on an hourly maintenance cost program. All of the above factors, and plenty more, will have a significant bearing on the eventual price paid for a Hawker 900XP.

Does the Hawker 900XP Fleet for Sale Number Matter?

Another factor driving Hawker 900XP value within the pre-owned market is how many of the fleet is for sale. Generally, newer aircraft tend to command more buyer interest.

A relatively small proportion of the fleet being on the market can impact the price of a jet, giving the seller a stronger position to drive a desired sale price – especially when the market is active and healthy. The opposite is true, and buyers are in a stronger bargaining position, if more of a specific make/model aircraft fleet are on the market.

Traditionally, when less than 10% of a fleet of aircraft is for sale the market is defined as a sellers’ market. Once the fleet for sale exceeds 10% the market is defined as a buyers’ market.

What Else Should a Hawker 900XP Buyer Consider?

When assessing whether an aircraft is affordable for the budget, buyers need to remember the costs don’t stop at the acquisition of the aircraft. There will be ongoing fixed and variable hourly operating costs.

Prospective Hawker 900XP buyers are advised to hire an expert in the field of operating costs to help them understand what these costs are, and how they could change as the airframe and engines grow older.
